Let's Get Political (think Olivia Newton John as you read that)
I've never been one who was really into politics and I still am not. I did vote in 2004 for the first time and it was actually pretty exciting to me. I am one of my few friends that does actually go out and vote. I ask many of them why they won't vote and I often get the same dumb answer: My vote doesn't count. Well it certainly never will if you don't give it a chance to. I was unable to vote in the primary election here in Florida because I refuse to affiliate myself with a party (I don't like being boxed in). Independents can not vote in primary elections in 21 states I believe. But I will definitely be out there come the first Tuesday of November. Hopefully by that time I can decide where I want my loyalties to be for the next 4 years. I saw this video today and it just made me feel good. I want people to be more involved and if it takes someone like will.i.am to get more people to those polls, I'm all for it. Whatever happens in November, America is heading for a change and we all need to be ready for it and ready to accept it.
Peacefully yours,

Oh come now, Brown cow...
You have been riding me for awhile about my apathetic views when it comes to voting. At best, you consider it a pathetic view. In the end, those who do not want to be boxed in don't count, and it seems more of an obligation than a privilege. I can't help my disdain for a country who doesn't respect my views, so, I don't feel my true vote counts. I never intend to let the political party interrupt my birthday party (Scorpio Party); thus, I have to decline my vote. I do like the historical change that is inevitable with this election... With or without my vote.
Truly,
